Coborrus County Transportation Services (CCTS) Finol Report — September 2015 • Mobility Management could be useful to improve the understanding of who can ride and how to ride transit. • Several years of successful marketing to solicit new RGP customers in order to accept maximum ROAP RGP funding. 1.4 Feeder routes to CK Rider with intent to transfer to future CATS Route 110 (Concord Mills) • Some opportunity for rural residents on west side of urbanized area. • CATS service will probably be deviated fixed route. Theme #2: Managing internal initiatives to increase the passengers per trip and reduce subsidy per trip. Note none of these initiatives received much discussion. 2.1 Policy Change: Convert van lending policy to volunteer driver program 2.2 Policy Change: Modify medical only out -of- county trips to allow workers to ride 2.3 Policy Change: Consider curb -to -curb vs. door -to -door service (redefine door -to -door) 2.4 Tighten eligibility requirements to encourage greater use of /transfer to fixed route 2.5 Fare increase proposal — zonal fare structure 2.6 Additional training for staff — specifically Transit Manager and Mobility Managers 2.7 Improve Hispanic representation on the TAB Theme #3: Financial proposals - all of the funding proposals were discussed as they related to specific initiatives. 3.1 Organizational restructuring (separate Dept. of Public Transportation or joint City- County system) • These various reorganizations were not discussed. • A new reorganization should only be considered if external conditions warrant such a drastic change, i.e. loss of ADA contract causes severe ridership losses, NC DHHS decides to use a brokerage system for Medicaid trips 3.2 Use FTA Urban 5307 Funds to enhance regional transit services - requires MPO facilitation • The competition for 5307 is already strained, adding another player will further limit fixed route coverage.
